Winterizing: No special treatment is required; 2-3" of mulch is recommended.
Maintenance & Pruning: Blooms on old wood, which means that any pruning should be done after bloom. If plants become thin and scraggly, cut back to just a few inches high after bloom for a flush of lush new growth.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Blossoms last only a short time. Foliage is deep green and nicely shaped. I had my plants from last year on a big pot on the deck and they did well over the Chicago winter so that was a huge plus.
So far, so good. They are just waiting patiently for the rain to quit so they can be planted?
I understand everyone is in a hurry for reviews, but please be patient and give us a chance to get them planted!
Plants arrived in fine condition, are now planted and thriving. Hoping for copious blooms in the Spring!
Plants arrived healthy and well packaged. They are planted and doing well!
I initially ordered Five Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia and then needed an additional five. They all arrived promptly and well packaged. I hope they make it through our Nebraska winters, but so far they’re loving our spring weather!
Had two replaced, now I have a fully dead third one. The other three are doing ok. Disappointing because I was really looking forward to adding these in my garden.
These plants arrived in beautiful condition, were big enough to make a splash in my front yard beds, and are growing and thriving. No blooms yet but it is too soon. I have ordered from Great Garden Plants before and have never been disappointed.
They look like they are dead. Took picture Don know if you got them.

I’m loving my plants. I ordered several. I had a couple that were in poor shape when delivered. I contacted customer service & in about a week new plants were delivered. I will definitely reorder again when I need plants
I purchased 3 Yuki Cherry Blossom Deutzia plants. They arrived in the expected time and they arrived in great condition. I planted them in about 3 days. They did well after planting. I am so excited to watch them bloom next spring! Great Garden Plants does an excellent job with plants and I will definitely buy from them again
I've now purchased two of these. The first one had a little more trouble settling in but is looking much better now, it may be a location issue because the second one has been in the ground a few weeks and is already showing new growth and looks very healthy. Can't wait to see blooms in the spring.
My Cherry Blossom plant is really thriving. It established quickly. It is growing and I even had a few flowers. I bighly recommend this Cherry Blossom plant!
One of the Deutzia Yuki Cherry Blossom plants looked bad when they arrived and did not survive. The others were excellent.
Thanks fir asking.
It’s been a few weeks and the deutzia are doing great. They are a cute little shrub and serve like an effortless ground cover.
Is this drought tolerant
Yuki Cherry Blossom® Deutzia is described to be drought tolerant. However, it's important to note that while it can handle some dryness, its blooms last longest when it does not dry out in spring. For the best display of flowers, it's beneficial to provide consistent moisture during the blooming period.
Does the cherry blossom deutzia stand up well to banana slugs??
The Yuki Cherry Blossom® Deutzia is generally known to be pest resistant. However, slugs and snails can still be attracted to them, particularly to the new growth.
Hello, I need a Dwarf Cherry Blossom tree that is 4-5 feet tall. Can your company help? Pink flowers look good.
Hi there! We have Stay Classy™ Cherry which is dwarf cherry shrub that reaches 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity. You can find that here:

I planted one last year to try it but there was very little growth. I though it died over the winter but now has grown about 4".
How long does this plant take to get full size & flower?
It's hard to say for certain, since so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, fertilizing, and not least of all, the type of plant you purchased - all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously.
Does the foliage all drop off in winter?
Hi! Yes, this is a deciduous shrub so it will lose its leaves in winter.
